Pediatrician says I’m nursing my 4 week old too often - not sure what to do

@christopher000 My son did this for I think like 4 or 5months? He’s 8 months now and eventually grew out of it himself. He started daycare at 4 months and was fine during the day, the comfort nursing we did never really caused a problem when I wasn’t there. From the research I’ve done, your baby will spit up anything they over eat if they’re exclusively breastfed, so gaining fast isn’t an issue. Also studies have shown that breastfed babies grow faster in the first few months and then slow down, so your doctor’s frame of reference may not be accurate for a breastfed baby. So my personal opinion is your pediatrician can get wrecked.
